[RFC V2 0/8] nl80211: add 6GHz band support

[Arend van Spriel <arend.vanspriel@broadcom.com>]

This is more or less a resend. The difference with the previous RFC is
in the nl80211 API as the previous RFC was breaking ABI.

In 802.11ax D4.0 a new band has been proposed. This series contains
changes to cfg80211 for supporting this band. With 2GHz and 5GHz there
was no overlap in channel number. However, this new band has channel
numbers with a range from 1 up to 253. The only place I could find an
issue with this is in cfg80211_wext_freq(). Not sure how to deal with
that so it is not part of this series.

The series applies to the master branch of the mac80211-next repository.

Arend van Spriel (8):
  nl80211: add 6GHz band definition to enum nl80211_band
  cfg80211: add 6GHz UNII band definitions
  cfg80211: util: add 6GHz channel to freq conversion and vice versa
  cfg80211: extend ieee80211_operating_class_to_band() for 6GHz
  cfg80211: add 6GHz in code handling array with NUM_NL80211_BANDS
    entries
  cfg80211: use same IR permissive rules for 6GHz band
  cfg80211: ibss: use 11a mandatory rates for 6GHz band operation
  cfg80211: apply same mandatory rate flags for 5GHz and 6GHz
